Re: Due to the looming Stamp price increase
http://www.usps.com/prices/welcome.htm?from=bannercommunications&page=prices
On May 12 we will adjust prices for mailing services — First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services, and Special Services. The average increase by class of mail is at or below the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.
A First-Class Mail stamp will be 42¢. Customers can continue to use the Forever Stamps that they purchased prior to May 12 at 41¢, even after the price change. We will have 5 billion Forever Stamps in stock to meet increased demand before the price change. Forever Stamps are widely available through Post Offices, Contract Postal Units, consignment locations, Automated Postage Centers, vending, and at The Postal Store®. We also will have a 62¢ stamp available shortly after May 12 for 1-ounce nonmachinable First-Class Mail letters, such as square greeting cards.
Pricing highlights:
No change in the First-Class Mail single-piece additional-ounce price.
Lower additional-ounce price for presorted First-Class Mail letters.
Lower pound price for Standard Mail saturation and high-density flats.
Shape-based pricing for First-Class Mail International letters, flats, and parcels.
First-Class Mail International price groups expand from five to nine groups.

I recently found out about those and was like, wow, you can buy a ton and use them forever since stamps will keep going up. I still didn't buy a ton though...esp since I do most of my bill paying online. You save so many stamps that way!

For some reason, this reminds me of the Kramer/Neuman bottle redemption scheme
I was just telling DH we should buy a bunch too.

they decide to take the USPS truck to michigan to cash in all their bottles and cans because they have a 10 cent deposit and NY is 5 cents. On the way, the truck is trashed and goes up in flames, thus ruining their master plan
Sorry for the hijack

Yes! You can return them for the forever ones with no problem. They cost the same right now.

Re: Due to the looming Stamp price increase
Do you send that much mail? I definitely don't go through 1,000 stamps in a year.
That's a lot of money to lay out to save only $10...

Hold up, I thought they were calling it the forever stamp because the prices weren't going to change????
